- 2. 1.1 INTRODUCTION: THE PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE • Python is an object-oriented • High-level language • Interpreted • Dynamic • Multipurpose programming language.
- 3. 1.2 HISTORY • Python was first introduced by Guido Van Rossum in 1991 at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Netherlands. • Though the language was introduced in 1991, the development began in the 1980s. Previous lyvan Rossum worked on the ABC language at Centrum Wickenden & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. • The ABC language was capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Inspired by the language, Van Rossum first tried out making his own version of it • Python is influenced by programming languages like: ABC language, and Modula-3, Python is used for software development at companies and organizations such as Google, Yahoo, CERN, Industrial Light and Magic, and NASA. • Why the Name Python? Python developer, Rossum always wanted the name of his new language to be short, unique, and mysterious. Inspired by Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a BBC comedy series, he named it Python
